My Students

Students love science when they are able to make their own observations about the world around them.

My students are extremely excited to be taking Zoology, my new course.

In fact, it quickly become so popular that I am now teaching it 5 times a day. The students in my school are particularly drawn to the sciences and love to learn about and explore our natural world.

My Project

My students need 2 microscope viewers and slides in order to observe our diverse microscopic animal world for themselves. These resources will allow my students this year and for many years to come to make observations about the animal kingdom. Most students rarely think about microscopic animals, but these materials will allow them to observe animals that require a microscope to view. My students will learn some of the basic features and structures of living organisms.

By donating to this project, you will allow me to successfully teach zoology to my students.

It will provide my students with the necessary tools to understand the microscopic animal world.
